(2017·南昌十校二模)American real estate (房地产) tycoon Donald Trump, whose election as US president surprised many around the world, has been unsurprisingly named Time magazine's “Person of the Year” for 2016.
Trump said while responding to the news, “It means a lot, especially me growing up reading Time magazine. And it's a very important magazine, and I've been lucky enough to be on the cover many times this year — and last year.But I consider this a very, very great honor.”
Trump has long been obsessed_with having his face on the cover of magazines, something that happened more and more often as he won early polls, then Republican primaries, then the nomination, then the presidency. Trump keeps piles of these magazines in his office and with this mindset, Time's “Person of the Year” became Trump's longcherished wish.
Although the magazine featured Trump several times on its cover, it passed on naming him “Person of the Year” for 2015.Instead, it selected German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom the magazine credited with opening her nation's border to hundreds of thousands of refugees (难民) and managing Europe's debt crisis.Trump did not take that news well.“I told you @ TIME Magazine would never pick me as ‘Person of the Year’ in spite of being the big favorite.They picked the person who is ruining Germany，” he said on Twitter soon after the news was announced.
Time managing editor Nancy Gibbs said that the decision in 2016 was easy.This title goes to a newsmaker who has influenced events for better or for worse.“When have we ever seen a single individual who has so defied (违背) expectations ... beaten not one but two political parties on the way to winning an election ... I don't think that we have ever seen one person, operating in such an unconventional way, have an impact on the events of the year quite like this，” Gibbs said.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是唐纳德·特朗普多次登上《时代周刊》封面，且终于被授予《时代周刊》的2016“年度人物”。
24.What do Trump's words suggest in Paragraph 2?
A．Luck is on his side.
B．He deserves the award.

(2017·江西南昌第一次模拟)People who possess high selfesteem are able to commit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others.Dr.Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves, but with love and selfrespect anyone can be above normality and grasp success with the family, the office, or others.
We have become too reliant on intelligence, beauty, and money for our own selfesteem.The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals.In a series of reading Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements, how to change them into selffacing behavior, and how to take charge of your mental attitude.Where other motivational and selfhelp work stops with the theoretical plan for success, Douglas takes everyday examples and puts them into his books. From raising children who believe in themselves to using selfesteem to help bridge the gap in the workplace, he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that might ruin their interpersonal relations.
Selfesteem building comes from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations (肯定) and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of selfdestruction.These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly out of control.People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their success grander, faster, and more beneficial for others.Douglas approaches this process of selfdevelopment as a means of more than creating good things for the individual but also for setting up keys for influencing good things for others.
For more than thirty years, Dr.Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drugfree children.He is the author of fifteen books, including How to Make a Habit of Succeeding.

(2018届高三·湖北省七市教科研协作体联考)
For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape.They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.
One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen, which humans need to breathe.According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving.Parks also make cities cooler.Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the sun's heat and release (释放) it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass.Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas.Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used for buildings, roads, parking lots, and other essential parts of the urban environment.However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens.While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years.Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投资) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.
Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the muchneeded land.In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills.Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier.Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy, they are also a smart environmental investment.
32.The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph probably means “________”．
A．carries away B．takes up
C．gives out D．breathes in
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据上文中的“an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide”可知，一英亩的树吸收的二氧化碳的量和一辆普通的汽车行驶11 000英里排放的二氧化碳的量是相等的。由此可知，emit与give out 的意思相同，表示“释放；散发”。
33．Which of the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect?
A．More building meterials.
B．More trees and grass.
C．More parking lots.
D．More rooftop gardens.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Scientists have long noted ... usually warmer than surrounding rural areas.”可知，诸如金属和混凝土之类的建筑材料是城市热岛效应的始作俑者，故选A。
34．When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?【出处：21教育名师】
A．They make people much happier.
B．They provide more benefits than urban parks.
C．They help to save money and keep a healthy diet.21·cn·jy·com
D．They have become very popular in recent years.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“reduce cooling bills”“leading to savings on heating bills”和“making their diets healthier”以及最后一段的整体内容可推知，屋顶花园能够降低取暖或降温的费用支出。同时，它还可以为蔬菜种植提供场地，为人们提供新鲜的蔬菜，从而使人们的饮食更健康，故选C。
35．What's the author's attitude towards rooftop gardens?
A．Sceptical. B．Supportive.
C．Critical. D．Objective.
解析：选B 作者态度题。根据最后一段的第一句“Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the muchneeded land.”并结合本段的整体内容可推知，作者是提倡创建屋顶花园的，故选B。sceptical“怀疑的”；critical“批判性的，批评的”；objective“客观的”。
